Hmm, never seen that for the last few months - may have something to do with your view mode configuration. Could you post or mail it, please?_________________Author of Total Commander

Hmm, that doesn't make much sense - you enable auto mode switches without and rules defined. TC then falls through to the default rule, which is "Set the default view mode".

For now I have disabled auto mode switching when going to other tabs and the list of view mode rules is empty. But I doubt that this is the real problem the thread started had..._________________Author of Total Commander

It would be great if you provide some kind of debug log mode for this specific problem. I do have the problem on very different machines and installations and I think it's somehow connected to running a TC instance for quite some time.
